conedodger Posted October 12, 2015 Share #1 Posted October 12, 2015 A friend of mine just finished restoring the body on a 280Z and when he was done, it wouldn't start. It appears the EFI harness has been hacked into and patched and we're thinking that if someone makes a replacement harness like they do in the Porsche world, it might be a best fix... Leads?

Chickenman Posted October 12, 2015 Share #2 Posted October 12, 2015 (edited) Auto wrecker? I will be removing my complete EFI harness later this year when I convert to a Haltech system. Everything is intact, works and in very good condition. If he's not in a rush I may be selling it. PM me if he's interested. Won't be pulling it for a couple of months though. I even have a brand new Master terminal kit with the newer style push locks. Never got around to installing it. All injectors, AFM , Coolant sensors and Fast Idle Valve connectors.

Zed Head Posted October 12, 2015 Share #3 Posted October 12, 2015 Probably doesn't help, but the factory harness looked like it's been hacked and patched when it was new. They used a lot of crimps and "tap" junctions. Then buried them in insulating tape. Even if he gets a replacement harness he'll still have to do some meter work to get power where it needs to go. He might be in the same boat with a new harness as he is now with his old one. Just saying... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomoHawk Posted October 13, 2015 Share #4 Posted October 13, 2015 If you find a supply, please share it. There are a lot of L28 owners that would want one to go with the twin-cam cylinder head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conedodger Posted October 13, 2015 Author Share #5 Posted October 13, 2015 Thanks guys. Chickenman, keep me posted. This is not his car and not my car. It is a customers car. Porsche harnesses often get reproduced so for Porsches, this is not a unicorn I'm looking for. In fact, I know a guy who makes Porsche harnesses who might reproduce the harness if I could find him a good one to copy from... Hmmm... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zed Head Posted October 13, 2015 Share #6 Posted October 13, 2015 Here's a source. It will probably look like the one he has though. http://www.zcarsource.com/engine-harness-240z-260z-280z-280zx-300zx_8_56708.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_tool_man Posted March 22, 2016 Share #7 Posted March 22, 2016 I talked with Kurk McKay over on Hybridz about replacement connectors. He makes complete harnesses too. You might try him: https://m.facebook.com/mackay.power.products Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zed Head Posted March 22, 2016 Share #10 Posted March 22, 2016 Thanks. I was serious, I didn't know what the m was for. Makes sense though. Part of the overall monitoring, profiling, and mind-control programs. I clicked. Isn't FricFrac associated with McKay? Or maybe he is McKay. Pretty sure they're connected though. People like FricFrac's stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racer47201 Posted March 22, 2016 Share #11 Posted March 22, 2016 I have Kurk Mackay making me a new F/I harness along with a fully integrated Megasquirt system plug-and-play, the ECM and ECU for my 77 280Z his email is kurk.mackay@gmail.com.

As info, his replacement connector kit is $50, as of a few weeks ago. I have no idea what a complete harness would cost.
